Had my nightmare paint job when I sprayed my fender flares. After I cleared it, a dark grey stripe appeared. I left it dry, sanded it a lil bit and resprayed. The stripe came back after the clear again 🙄. I said screw it and installed them. A month later quarter size fish eyes appeared over the entire flare. Another the paint separated. Whatever cause it ate into the flare and caused huge craters.

I didn't know what sealer did for being applied over primer so it melts you edges in so you don't have to feather it out in between the primer and color coats. Thx for that. What a clean job. Nice work on that one as always.

[@ukstuartpatterson]

Hey Brian, you always explain the steps and why.... for me I gained extra understanding of sealer...being clear and smoothe. I think there's so many terms bandied about that get confusing/confused for different products. Like I used to think sealer was a beige coloured primer kind of appearance.... What I HATE about modern cars is the plastic. They ALWAYS look like it was an after-thought that they got painted in a different shade. Your car there (GORGEOUS colour btw in natural light - in the booth it looked a bit 70's sh*t brown hahaha) has front and rear bumper covers and door handles - all look different. So I know it's a different substrate - so it offers a different end finish to the metalwork..... so if that's the case - why isn't a clear sealer used to stop that effect (as it works really well on primer?????). I feel like it spoils an overall appearance. I hope that's a helpful bit of feedback on the brilliant videos you do and the question may help others too. Stu :)

[@briancarton1804]

I like the fact that you remove the door handles ect. Lots of guys just tape them. It makes a big difference to the quality of Finnish removing the handles ect.

coming from 5 years of panel work and being around painters i thought id give painting a go and man did it kick my butt, your channel has helped a tonne!, coming from scotland only thing i would say is it would be helpful is when doing metallics u mentioned to use extra slow hardener but its so cold in scotland would fast hardener be better? its usually around 10- 20 degrees here

[@PaintSociety]

Slow. Give thats a try

[@bendafixer4542]

I learned that the reason why sealer will allow the base coat to go down better is because it isn't as porous as primer, and over reducing will break up the metallics better.

[@PaintSociety]

Thank. Thats great and it is true

[@skeeet5758]

I don't know don't most of those like blending agents like db500 it just feels in the scratches for those heavy metallics that almost looks like a tri-coat actually that heavy gold it's just hard it can streak that's a hard color to paint. It helps to keep from seeing the scratches in the paint especially pewter or silver.

[@thommartin309]

It appeared t0 me that with the paint and the clear you were about 90% overlap, and pretty good amount of air, and no runs.. I would have had runs, and my luck would have blown paint flakes off the plastic, as well as the tape, and most of that would land in the last coat of clear. My question is, are we watching this is real time, or is it doctored before we see it? Either way you did a amazing job. Thom

yooo bro! didnt know this channel bud now you keeping me inside hahah. i dont want to overthink bud still got some questions. back in the day my dad painted my scooter wheels orange. somehow the paint kept on cracking we thaugt it was the paint. so we end up filling the cracks with paint and live with it. now i dont know 15 years later got some old wheels to repaint. the same thing is happening. it dryes like the desert and have islands surounded with cracks. 15 years ago it was rustoleum ratlecan fluor orange. now its motip black!?!. iff i sand it off it just happens again. is this the powdercoat? somehow writhing this i think it may be powdercoat. bud i sand it 320 600 or 800 still happens. i got like 3 sets off wheels to repaint and its happening on the first rim. also iff the paint gun sayes needs 260 liters a min. i saw a 2 cilinder compressor 100 liters tank running house power deliver exact 260 liters a min hahaha. you run most times like full power not taking a foot off the trotle. will this compressor run empty? or just hold on? hahahah hard to say for you bud saw the verry smal compressor vid. bud i trying to repaint my whole car. i crashed it. i bought a partytent hahah 6x3 meters saw a second hand set off sprayguns clear and base. so only need to figure out the compressor and stop thinking and paint. the air units i saw in the vids. i think they are oil separators and water separators? i know that kind off work. didnt know they were like 400 a piece tho so i thiink some machine is goint to miss it verry soon. or is it special for painting? than the machine got lucky. and for painting a subframe what kind off paint do you recoment? i saw motip bitumen paint. bud used it one time on a smal part and looked verry ugly verry soon, and used on driveshafts it chipt off in my case. the car is purple now and i want to go white. before i saw the vids i didnt know about the sealer. i thaugt i was primer base clear. bud the sealer is killer no need to sand just one day off painting!! Thanks for the lessons!! you saved a verry poor ej2 coupe from beeing rattlecaned! quick recap what i saw. clean like a 1000 times bud end with water soap/ grease remover / sticky paper best to spray in the morning (summer offcorse) keep the wet edge iff you got a spots in the sealer remove them in the basecoat first layer clear is ground layer second one is for the shine. you go botom up to see the edge i dont know how this will work for me in a partytent. and use a psi regulator on the gun. this you learned me off the videos hahaha. peace✌

Hey brian, is it normal for cars to come with different painted panels from factory? I seen many new cars, and my own, that body color doesn't match bumpers. I have a white accord and can see the color difference mostly in the shade, pearls hide it in the sun. I believe body and bumpers are painted at different times so that could be the reason?

[@PaintSociety]

Yea. Bumpers are painted separately at different facility and never use the same exact tecnhique or paint.

[@ZILAwelds]

Bumpers are plastic and doors and fenders are metal typically …. And the bumpers sometimes have a different electrostatic charge so when you paint them they will look different because the metallic doesn’t lay down the same….

[@crisssancho4996]

I've used Sikkens most of my career since 1989. One thing i can tell you is I could easily paint the whole side with less than 21 ounces of clear. I spray with lower pressure and closer. We all have our own techniques. Efficiently is the game now with cost being outrageous.

Your channel has been such an inspiration to me. What I have learned on your channel allowed me to help a friend on an 1989 Ford 4x4 project. I have painted the cab interior, the back of the cab, front of the bed, under the hood, etc. The outside of the truck will get a professional paint job, but it's amazing how good the truck looks! Everyone is amazed that I painted it with no prior experience. :-) I have clear coat peeling on my truck side where a previous repair was poorly done. Now I have the confidence to paint it myself. It won't be "perfect" but it will look 1000% better than it does now. Thank you again!!

We needed to get a piece of equipment painted to protect the underlying metal, and since we had planned to keep it a while we decided on a full strip and re-paint so that corrosion could be properly addressed. The OEM paint lasted an impressively long period of time, but almost 40 years of sun had done a lot of damage. We thought we took it to a professional, but as ours was in the paint shop and disassembled we heard of another owner who had an issue where the color and top coats fell away from the primer on the trip back from the paint shop. When we finally got ours back, three months after the expected completion, the color and top coats bubbled up in certain areas. It turns out, that paint shop owner thought he knew organic chemistry better than the paint manufacturers, so he was mixing and matching primer from one company, color from another, additives at ratios outside of manufacturer instructions, etc. Since the paint was not applied in compliance with the instructions, the multiple manufacturers involved did not warranty anything. The first shop was not going to pay for another shop to fix his problem without a lawsuit (and at $500/ hr our attorney fees would have exceeded the outright cost of a new paint job just with the normal summons and complaint/ pre-trial motions phases), we no longer trusted his work to fix his mistake, and the only fix was stripping back to bare metal and re-painting the whole thing, so we were looking at another five figures to paint a job not even a year old. Not fun. It is nice to see a professional showing how the job is done properly.

[@normandothegreat]

I used to have the same belief on refinishing, why not do that little extra to ensure a great job.

What insurance company gave you the front fender and rear quarter for blend? I never got that. Those bastards wouldn’t give me a blend panel when my primer was 6” away. They don’t want to pay for anything. I would get a 3 stage pearl white and they didn’t want to give color match time, 3 stage time, or give me adequate blend room. It was every job they would screw me.

To prevent pump seals from damaging turn your spray bottle upside down and spray out the remainder that’s left in the stem. That way the seals aren’t soaking in chemicals

Brian, you remind me how important it is to use one step slower reducers on some of those high metallic colors for blending and smoothness. You did everything right on that one with blending the fender and quarter panel. The job turned out great and I really enjoyed the video as well. Keep up the great work and videos.

It would be great if you included the exact amounts of products you are mixing for reference.

So in ur opinion which Sagola cap is better for clear and single stage? And what size tip? I currently spray PPG delfleet essential single stage and DCU2021 clear. I’ve been thinking about getting a Sagola.

[@MatthewWoolf-l6d]

Is clear base, the same as blending additive??? In many of your videos you use clear base to cover the whole car, but in this one, at 4:50 you put on blending additive and used it across the whole car as if it is clear base. I also read online somewhere that using purely reducer, such as a cheap 2k universal thinner, is fine as a clear base. Im asking because I'm from UK and In UK there's no such thing as "clear base" but there IS blending additive. I've never used that though. Theres also fade thinners/ blend thinners for blending lacquer if you're not painting it edge to edge, and I use this all the time. Is this product the same as clear base too, and can it do the same job as clear base too??? In my head, l'm asking about 3 different chemicals and in my head they're all supposed to do different things but I feel like you being from the US and me from the UK makes me confused. Also in your recent video doing the 2 doors on a green Lexus (I think) SUV, you use blending additive (which I think is the same thing as clear base but not sure still) on the whole area, just like this video, let it flash for only 2 minutes, (another important question, is that really long enough to then base?!?!?, I thought each coat always had to be bone dry always before moving on to the next and tack off between every coat to remove stray overspray and metallic particles) it’s still wet looking when you then base it, but then after 5 mins of flash off, on either side of the basecoated area, you put more clear base on as a wet bed, then immediately spray across the basecoated area and into the wet beds on each side. You don’t do that on the Acura in this video. Did you only do this in the other video, and not this one, because you said you weren't happy with how the silver metallic tinter 811M left a bit of an edge on the blend? And that this wasn't an issue on this car because it's tiger eye pearl and not that dark Lexus metallic green? Was it just specific to that one colour and not the Acuras colour?? Why was your technique on that video different to the one on this video???

[@omorin34]

Brain, First and foremost, it would have been hilarious if during the unveiling at the end something like a lawn chair fell out of the sky and hit this car again. Dark humor, I know. I have heard you talk about using quality paints a lot and I would love to see a show where you spray similar panels, same gun and painter with different types of colors and clears. 10 years ago when I started playing around with DIY auto paint I sprayed KIRKER paint. Since then I have moved on and it did make a world of difference. But by no means am I buying PPG level stuff and it would be nice to see if I'm missing anything.

I started painting back in "74". Since then I've worked on over 12000 vehicles, some very small spot jobs, some very large overalls on trucks and not everyone went out the door on time. Auto painting is an art as much as a sicence and sometimes you need to go back and start over. My goal as a flat rate painter was to do good work like you did in this video and get my 80 hours done by lunch time on wednesday so that everything else is gravy. The hard part is doing that until your 70. During my last few years, every morning I told myself that you will be remembered by your last paint job, make it a good one!
